Integrating the steps of direct carbonization, removal of silica and polymerization of dopamine, four ordered mesoporous carbons (OMCs) doping with different constituents were prepared and characterized successfully, which were proved to possess similar ordered mesopore structure, high surface area and different hydrophilic properties. Subsequently, a series of pollutants were selected as target analytes to investigate the enrichment capacities of as-prepared OMCs based on the technique of solid phase microextraction (SPME). It was found that the OMC modified with polydopamine (OMC@PDA) demonstrated outstanding performance towards phenols, since its hydrophilicity was enhanced by PDA. Moreover, two extraction modes were employed to study the extraction process, including headspace and direct immersion. The synergistic enhancement effect of enrichment efficiency and mass transfer towards phenols using the OMC@PDA-coated fiber was demonstrated in the mode of direct immersion. To realize the target of high sensitivity, the OMC@PDA-coated fiber was coupled with the gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) after optimizations to develop analytical method. Wide linear range (5-5000 ng L), low detection limits (0.08-0.38 ng L) and excellent reproducibility made the developed method feasible for the determinations of trace phenols in environmental water samples.

This work develops Fe-Ni particles loaded on biochar (Fe-Ni/BC) to remove U(VI) efficiently. Fe-Ni bimetallic particles loaded on biochar (BC) can improve stability and reactivity, and the mesoporous structure of BC can effectively reduce Fe aggregation. The removal ability of Fe-Ni/BC is higher than that of Fe-Ni, BC, and Fe/BC.

Mesoporous silica exhibits a diverse range of applications owing to its pore structure and inter-pore correlation. Consequently, quantitative characterization of its mesoscopic structure is extremely crucial to reciprocate its potential applications. In this work, we utilized the chemical and aerosol routes to successfully synthesize granular, porous silica with an average pore size in the range of ∼5-10 nm and different degrees of structural correlation among its pores.

In the current work, three adsorbent materials were developed: biochar derived from date palm fiber (C), date palm fiber biochar/chitosan nanoparticles (CCS), and biochar/chitosan nanoparticle composite supplemented with glutamine (CCSG). These compounds were used as solid adsorbents to remove As from polluted water. Several characterization approaches were used to investigate all the synthesized solid adsorbents, including thermogravimetric analysis, N adsorption/desorption isotherm, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), attenuated total reflectance with Fourier transform infrared, and zeta potential.

Magnetic activated carbon (MAC) derived from agricultural waste shows significant potential for the removal of norfloxacin (NOR) from wastewater. However, understanding the removal mechanisms, efficiency, and recyclability of MAC produced from walnut green husk and ferrocene for NOR remains a challenge. In this study, walnut green husk-based MAC (HQP-MC) was synthesized, and changes in surface functionality, mechanisms for NOR removal, and major influencing factors were investigated.

Deuterated compounds have broad applications across various fields, with dehalogenative deuteration serving as an efficient method to obtain these molecules. However, the diverse electronic structures of active sites in the heterogeneous system and the limited recyclability in the homogeneous system significantly hinder the advancement of dehalogenative deuteration. In this study, we present a catalyst composed of copper single-atom sites anchored within an ordered mesoporous nitrogen-doped carbon matrix, synthesized via a mesopore confinement method.
